Description

 When the shelter reached out and asked if we could help this injured senior boy, our answer was an immediate YES. Meet the invincible Nelson Toothpaste. At 10 years young, this handsome boy went through what most have not. BUT, despite everything he’s been through, he has been nothing but sweet, gentle, and grateful. It is suspected that he was attacked by another dog, leaving him with a large puncture wound along with several bumps and bruises. Thankfully, our veterinarian is optimistic and believes he will make a full recovery with proper care and time. What amazes us most is his spirit. Even while recovering from painful injuries, he has remained a perfect gentleman—kind, patient, and trusting with everyone he meets. Now it’s our turn to help him heal. If you would like to contribute toward his medical care and recovery, any donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Your support helps us provide the veterinary treatment, medications, and comfort he needs as he begins his journey to a brighter future. Donation can be made via PayPal: beourpet@gmail.com Zelle: beourpet@gmail.com Venmo using the link above, or you can send a check or money order to: Umbrella of Hope 4040 Railroad Ave Pittsburg CA 94565 Thank you for helping us give this deserving senior the second chance he so clearly deserves. Follow along as we update you on his healing progress. #shelterpetlove #seniordogsrockthisworld       GENERAL INFO:   Housebroken?: Yes, we think so Crate Trained?: Yes Leash Trained?: Yes Rides Well in Car?: Yes Non-Shedding?: No Good with cats?: Unkown Good with dogs?: Yes Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: yes Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5 Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.  Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet.  Adoptions to veterans of the US Armed Services are ALWAYS free to thank you for your service.   We thank Well Pet Vet Clinic for providing most of our veterinary services and give a special thanks to volunteer photographers Tanya, Barbara, Kristy, Christine, Teressa and Natalie.
